Not to much for a Natty?
#1
Hi Guys,
 
I wanted to share with you my idea for full week training schedule. I'm semi experienced Natty fighter struggling with consistency in my training. When I'm reading what you are saying on the forum and what Truth Seeker is writing on the blog I''m starting to think that I really was trying to train to hard and I was not focusing on the recovery part of the training. That is why I seek help from you to confirm if my basic approach is correct. 
 
You should now that I have to work with few constraints:
1. I don't go on to the commercial gyms. I use basic home equipment (kettlebells and dumbbells) and outdoor gyms.
2. I don't have much time to use on outdoor gyms due to tight life schedule - 30 minutes max, but it is possible 2x a day. Before work and after work.
3. My focus is on pull ups and push-ups – generally on upper body strength. My genetics gave me strong and massive legs but I still have much work on with upper body strength if not muscle (34 years old).
 
So my idea is:
 
1st day of the week - pull up training - Pavel’s Fighter Pull-up Program Optimized For Naturals (4 days rest between training sessions)
2nd day of the week - push up training with standard progression - I will start with 10 sets of 10 pushups (how often should I work out?)
3rd day of the week - abs training using bar hanging exercise (once a week)
4th day of the week - dips with standard progression or Fighter Pull-up Program (once a week)
 
In your opinion, when would be the best time to ad biceps exercise (curls, chin ups) and legs session with explosive strength in mind (for unprofessional sport performance). I’m also thinking about additional specified neck session.


Cheers!

Here's my view... I can see you're trying to focus on basic upper body work but the main issue I see is that you have more emphasis on chest than you do on back. When doing a "compound" movement for chest, you're including front delt and triceps.  So when you do back, you'll want to include biceps and rear delts.

First, switch pull ups to "chin ups" or neutral grip to target your biceps more... Then do some row variation.  These should hit your rear delts enough and will give you a bit more volume for biceps. 

Since you're doing abs, you don't want to forget your lower back...

Day 1) Chin-ups
Day 2) Push ups
Day 3) Rest

Day 4) Rows  + Lower back
Day 5) Dips + abs
Day 6) Rest
Day 7) Rest

You could move the lower back/abs to different days if you want...
